Excellent book meant for the layman, specifically US layman but it does speak in general terms in many a place so it's not a complete loss. The only irk point in the book was the number of times he uses Warren Buffett's & Charlie Munger's names, so much so that, at times I had to look back at the title just to remind myself that this is indeed a separate investing book & not a synopsis of Warren Buffett, Charles Munger gems. Despite this pain point I enjoyed this book immensely. A must read!
Excellent insights into the hows of value investing
A well written, accessible and informative book on how to use the principles of value investing. Mohnish Pages draws on many successful investors to provide colourful examples of how it works.

Anecdotes about other people (other Pabrais with motels, Richard Branson), and a less eloquent rehash of value investing ideas I've read in other books.
Must read for anyone who wants to understand the value investing principles...exit strategy using Abhimanyu and Chakravyuh analogy as well as focused/concentrated investing using Arjuna's analogy are indeed for lifetime use in one's investment journey.
Low risk method of investing in stocks or businesses.
I didn't find this book to be terribly helpful. Entertaining to a point, but I wouldn't recommend it for the serious investor.
